Lawson Slams Roosevelt in His Letter to Draper
Edward TF McSweeney, private secretary to Mr. Lawson, said $20,000 of the Lawson fund has been covered at even by Draper money and $900 more at odds of 11 to 9. With a dearth of Draper capital, heavy adds are demanded by its holders. J A Downs of Hayden Stone Co placed $10,000 for Lawson and refused to name the Draper end of the wager.

Statute Provisions Concerning Betting and Political Wagering
A long letter from Thomas W. Lawson to the Governor attacks Republican leaders and defends Eugene Foss with comments on stock speculation tied to a 1910 Massachusetts campaign. It cites Chapter 214 1902 statute penalties for betting on political results and urges a shift to temperate, truthful campaigning versus demagoguery. The author, Hayden Stone & Co. and Lawson, claim no direct fossil involvement by Foss and promise charitable proceeds from any wagers while signaling continued political pressure if mudslinging persists.
